Paris, February 15 (PL) - The city of Tremblay-en-France donated today bodybuilding equipment to the National Institute of Sports, Physical Education and Recreation of Cuba (Inder), as part of a project aimed at supporting the preparation of athletes qualified for Paris-2024.

Equipment of various services are already in a container, which will soon leave for the island, thanks to the initiative launched two years ago by the Cuba Coopération France (CubaCoop) association to accompany the preparation and acclimatization of Cuban athletes who will compete in the summer in the Olympic and Paralympic events.

These are means in very good conditions that the commune of the Paris Region replaced in its weight room, in which Antillean athletes of disciplines such as boxing have trained.

The president of CubaCoop, Victor Fernandez, acknowledged the solidarity and commitment of Tremblay-en-France, one of the first cities to join the project, in which about twenty cities with authorities of various political colors are enrolled.

The initiative to support Cuba on its way to Paris-2024, Olympic Games that will start on July 26, includes the stay on French soil of athletes in training bases and before the start of the event under the five rings, and actions to improve the conditions of preparation on the island.

We also plan to keep the name of Cuba alive during the games with cultural and recreational activities, with Tremblay-en-France itself as the epicenter, Fernandez told Prensa Latina.

The French association will reach 30 years of uninterrupted cooperation with the largest of the Antilles in 2025, support consisting in the implementation of socio-economic development projects that help alleviate the impact of the U.S. blockade.According to Fernandez, CubaCoop's vision is to combine political solidarity and condemnation of the siege imposed by Washington for more than six decades with economic accompaniment, translated into decentralized collaboration for local development, stimulus to investments and support to companies willing to do business in the Caribbean country.

Likewise, it promotes actions within the European Union so that its member states do not assume the extraterritoriality of the U.S. blockade, which puts pressure on banks, companies and citizens.
